Re: Non-plat buying

Seems the message came through one ear and out the other. Saying the game is possible to be free to play is a complete miss communication. Are you telling me that if no one bought plat people would be killing necro right now? Native X all the way huh.

Here's the thing: The game would be playable if only plat buyers existed. The game would not be playable if only non-plat buyers existed. Sales would be lower sure, but plat buyers could play and you wouldn't be able to.

Like the other postee said, its not as if I throw $200 bucks at Celtic Heroes and I'm level 200. Heck, with 200 bucks and no time spent bossing, farming, or making friends you could probably only make it to level 130 with good lux and shop armor.

Of course I have payed for the game or I wouldn't be defending myself. But hey, I don't have to farm. I still help like cray, am OP dps for my level, and I didn't have to stress myself out farming or spending an excess of time on getting quest gear. All my money spent is from gift apples I've asked for as gifts, or you can just use some from your allowance if CH is something you enjoy. You spend quite a lot of money on console games and nothings wrong with that. Put money into an everlasting game and you don't even buy console games often and everyone goes insane.

I'm proud of being a plat buyer because it makes my life easier and I am a big part of getting people their levels and gear, and I might as well spend the cash I get per month from chores as Celtic Heroes is a game I really enjoy.

I am just unhappy with this because it makes me feel as I have not made any effect on my server. The reality of it is you should be just as proud for buying plat as not buying plat. Don't make it seem as if you're "superior" because you haven't spent money in a game.

The rich provide for the poor? Although in this case the poor is just people who can't OR don't want to spend money on CH.
I know people who hadn't spent a penny and easily have x10 your total bank. Think before you speak poor boy.

I never said I was the richest player in the game. Look, all I wanted to say is that you can't label things like that. You are really making it seem as though people who spend money on games are idiots, but were actually all idiots.

Again... through one ear and out the other.

Did he even mention in game currency? Unless if I'm being drugged by jausus to not see I AM SUPER RICH, PLAT BUYERS IS THE MASTER RACE then it's not there.

First part talks about that the game needs plat to play, no lix/sigils/mounts/fashion/backpack expansions if there wasnt plat in game, and quiet a few classes almost requires sigils to play well, and tanks need that health and armor boost for end game bosses (at least I always see them with something on).

Second part on just talks about the morality of plat vs no plat. People waste $$$ on games, completely fine, then they waste 20$ on a free game and everyones like OMG SO PRO, SO OP, SO NO LIFE.

There should be equal respect to people who haven't bought plat and people who do waste their checks and allowances on a game they enjoy, be it free or subscription or paid. they help the game grow.

Heck, even an example from an STS employee

You can't play loose and free with other people's livelyhood and drive your business into the red and force you to close up shop. The short answer is that it won't pay back. Again, we know how these games perform. We have run them for years. As free to play games, the vast majority of our players download the game for free to their device, have some fun with it and never spend anything. It's just how they work out

If we were to hire more people just to make an *ahem* expansion and then have the $$ made from that expansion not pay back enough to allow us to keep those people, should we do it? No. Simple enough.

We are fortunate enough OTM didnt go the Zinga and STS route and just make 2-3 games of the same game, but on different servers and let their old games die off.

So I'm sorry if you don't like reading my long posts, they come time to time. But in a nutshell, plat buyers should be as welcomed as a free player, even if they do have a borderline advantage vs free players (OnC much?), we still do get updates (even if its borderline late), still get events (again, bit recycled), and IT'S STILL JUST ONE GAME.

Enjoy it like you would with your other console/PC games, we have all paid to play once in our lives.

Not buying platinum is something to be proud of. It shows that the game has the potential to be free to play. I guarantee sales would be much lower if people simply bought platinum and were unable to sell the items they got with the platinum.
Sure the game has potential to be free to play. Without plat it takes a lot of time to go through the content which isnt a bad thing.

The thing is that right now it isnt free to play. All of the plat items that are used within the game are paid for by somebody. The fact that plat items are able to be traded is what makes the game free to play for some. Without lixes to level with, many people would get frustrated that they aren't seeing their toon progress. Even though experience keeps usage down, without restos and idols, bosses would be much more difficult.

Everyone ends up supporting OTM through plat items, regardless of if they are buying them directly or indirectly. To say that someone can be proud because they havent spent their own money is kind of arrogant.
Beware the chickens, they are duplicitous.

I dont think there is anything wrong with playing no plat but dont dismiss the lad because he did buy, as has been said if not for plat buyers no one would be 190+ and i doubt many would have dl.

I would also point out that those who stole plat with the glitch were not only spoiling world economy's but causing otm problems, possibly risking their future.

Otm is a buisness which needs to pay bills and wages like anyone else, if people dont buy or get through legitimate offers they cannot do this.

190 mage non plat buyer unless you count native x :D
"Rico sucks"
Rico does suck, ive never seen him lvling without a combo even when we were low lvls, and now he still sucks.


Again im not saying buying plat is something to be ashamed of, and i have said buying and not lvling cus when u lvl with an elix, its still plat item, but u got it with ur gold u farmed.

Without plat buyers i wouldnt play, i just think its a lil to be proud of to actually achieve such goals in a pay-to-win game. Also i have never thought there are barely non plat buyers, but i didnt know so many are high lvls, mostly not mages and druids.

Theres probably like only one plat buyer out of every 10 players.

What I hate is that the player base has made it so that you should be ashamed that you bought platinum. Many players in my server suddenly shoot up and they deny using plat because of this.

Btw Criminal, you are still funding the game by buying plat items from plat buyers. I wouldn't sell chests otherwise. So its a 50-50 effort, not 60-40.
